how do you do it ? how do you release all your frustration ? i bottle stuff up because i don't know how to deal with it and right now, i can feel it boiling up and i really can't afford a re-run of last time. last time i dropped a 15p biro on the deck.. and spent 3 days clearing up the aftermath of going 3'rd world apeshit in the warehouse.

The non smoking thing probably isn't helping the situation, but i've stopped now and i don't plan on restarting, so i just need to find a way through this shit spell.

So.. anyone know a way of defusing ? cos right now, i honestly don't know what's gonna happen if i don't.

Buy a punch bag, it seriously helps on letting go of your frustrations. I find that 20 minutes of hitting a punch bag is really good therapy. I would also recommend a free standing one, because then you can kick it too... Running is also a good way.
I'd also say, if you're not feeling too pent up, and just a little stressed, rather than angry, just getting out somewhere quiet for a walk, or even just sitting and thinking can help.
It also helps keep you fit, which isn't a bad thing.

PS Don't forget to get the rightgloves, you don't want to go scuffing up your knuckles, that'll just lead to more frustration.

thanks for the suggestion, but taking frustrations out in an violent way isn't on my to do list.

I have calmed down a bit this afternoon, i decided to take an hour out of work and go sit at my uncles grave just round the corner and have a yap to him about everything - whenever i go there, there seems to be a magpie that just stands and watches as i yap, kinda makes me feel like it's being heard... i know.. weirdo. i'll shut up now.

Hello Stu,

I recommend this:

You're welcome.

Any form of physical exercise is a good way to work out the frustrations in you. From cycling to digging the garden. Of course another way is to put all you want to say down on paper. I found that typing it out on computer didn't really have the same effect for me. Just as long as you externalize it and internalize it less often.

it's one of those days... nothing is helping and i feel like i'm gonna explode, everything and i do mean everything at this second is pissing me off and i don't know what to do, i got off the truck cos i know full well that staying on it is a bad idea. i'm currently sat in a dark corner with my laptop tryin to chill out.. and it aint working

Get out, get some exercise. Don't sit and brood, that is a seriously bad idea.

I agree with WSS. Get out.
If you must sit and brood, get out and do it.
Go to Regents Park, or Hyde Park, or somewhere similar near you - where loads of people go by (but not train stations or airport!) - and just sit and do some people-watching.
I've found that helpful.
And - if you're lucky like me - you'll get some down-and-out offering you some meths in a boot polish lid (brown polish - apparently it's better). And if - like me - you thank him kindly for the offer as you decline, you'll get a life story.
OK, you might end up a few bob ligher, but sometimes getting some perspective costs. And it was cheaper than doing some damage to myself or someone else.

ookayyyy

did a shit load of sit ups till my stomach hurt.. then did 20 more just for the pain, did the same with 'chin ups' and can hardly move my arms, but i'm not fussed about that. I find it odd, that i only feel better now that i've felt pain, yet i don't think i've done anything that makes me 'need' to suffer.

does that make sense ? no probably not..

hello neighbour are you having a shitty day ? you should have phoned !

if you are at work, walking during a break is good, if you want to make it exercise, power walking. If you are at home.......do you know anyone who can lend you a dog to walk with? They are great to watch and walk with. If all else fails, people watching is a great idea....or better still, people watching with a dog (it wont look so suspicious!) Good luck! The other thing to do in an explosive situation is think of the money you are saving (hopefully you are putting it in a jar so you can visually see your efforts)and count to ten, twenty, thirty, forty....!

Go for a jog, and eat an ice-cream afterwards!!Go out and come home with three new numbers!Be cheeky!Enjoy life!Get a cool life!Get out!!Right now!
